Although tall, thin, blond and gorgeous, Breken Annersen suffers from body dysmorphic disorder. She’s got a ‘glamor job’ at an international gossip magazine, but dreams of a Pulitzer. All Brek WANTS on her Paris assignment is some dirt on a few starlets at a chic film soiree with handsome, irreverent freelancer, Hutch Branigan. But when a terrorist bomb rips the star-studded event apart, she GETS a new job description, chasing terrorists. Brek and Hutch, this tossed-together pair, witnesses the murder of a starlet who'd been at the Paris bombing, and hours later see the U.S. ambassador's daughter immolated on a dark fortress wall at the Cannes Film Festival.

From the French Rivera to the Swiss mountains they find MURDER, CORRUPTION and espionage born in Kabul, that spreads across Europe and the U.S. And amid the peril and violence, Brek and Hutch find a smoldering ATTRACTION for each other. Which could lead to romance, or heartbreak, or worse. About me? Motorcycles, scuba, rock band, and many many years a a Fortune 500 executive. And I'm kinda fun, so drop me a note. Sean
